Sony Macro Experience with Michelle Kennedy

Make tiny look massive — with a pro who lives and breathes it.

This hands-on macro workshop is led by Michelle Kennedy — Sony Digital Imaging advocate, multi-award-winning macro & portrait photographer and digital artist. You’ll move through multiple shooting stations built around water droplets, bubbles and dandelions using Sony’s new 100mm Macro. You’ll also get the rare chance to push beyond 1:1.7 and try ~2.8× magnification with a 2× teleconverter — so you can see how far this lens can go.

What you’ll get

• Practical coaching from Michelle — clean lighting, repeatable settings, fast results

• High-impact looks you can recreate tomorrow (no fluff)

• Extreme-macro trials with a 2× teleconverter (~2.8×)

• Take-home recipes for aperture, focus and light

Who it’s for

Freelancers, product shooters, content creators and keen beginners who want scroll-stopping macro without the trial and error.

Gear on the floor

Sony Alpha bodies + the new 100mm Macro, 2× teleconverter, Leofoto support, Aputure/Amaran lighting, gels, flags and backdrops. BYO camera welcome; demo units available.
